Baby Charlie is due in less than three weeks, 19 days to be exact, and it seems like we just found out that Jamie was pregnant yesterday. If the pregnancy has gone by this fast, how fast is my child going to grow up, move out and have his own family?
I..want..to..slow..things..down..for..just..a..few..minutes. I woke up to ice on the road this morning and the whole time Jamie has been pregnant we have said, "when the snow starts to fly is when we know that we are close to him coming." Charlie, not Santa. We can't wait to see him and hold him in our arms, yet it is scary to think how fast time goes by. How do you slow it down? "Sorry Charlie, we can't have fun because you will grow up too fast. Just sit there and let Mommy and Daddy stare at you for a while."
This really is an exciting time for us. We are both in nesting mode. Cleaning out all of our closets, our kitchen pantry and boxing up and storing all of our unused items and relocating them to the basement. It seems like we still have so much to do before he comes. I need to finish organizing the garage because we need plenty of room to get him in and out of the car. Jamie is taking care of the baby item organization. We need a new lighting fixture in Charlie's room so that we can see him better. I think that I will install stage lighting. The list goes on...
Are we ever really "ready" when our little bundles of joy arrive? I think that you can prepare all that you want, but there is always something that you feel like you didn't accomplish. We have accomplished a lot since we found out that we were having a baby, eventhough it seems like it was just yesterday.
